# One may wear the tzitzit under his clothes even if it will touch his skin. <ref> Halacha Berura 8:33. Sh"t Rivevot Efraim 4:15 quotes several achronim however who hold that it may be a disgrace to the tzitzit to sweat into them directly, and himself allows being lenient on a hot day. Halichot Shlomo 3:11 says that this would not be a disgrace at all. Sh"t Teshuvot Vihanhagot 1:25 says if you wear them specifically as an undershirt to stop the sweat from wetting your shirt than he's unsure if it would even be obligated in tzitzit, so one should try to refrain from this. </ref>
